I agree with everything you said but the one thing you didn't mention is he makes the mistake of dating the prototype to the Techcrunch post. When in fact the prototype was obviously from an earlier version (hence the SDK looking like an iPhone). As he said in the article Android had been in development for years before Google bought the company. What is noteworthy about the "Blackberry" phone is the entire paradigm is different. The navigation is different. The desktop-esque icons on the home screen are different (the blackberry prototype had a dock type system where as Android has the icons on the desktop). The resolution is different (notice Android phones with keyboards have smaller screens but a similar resolution ratio where as the blackberry protype had a wide, short screen) Notice how the touchscreen in the video works like the keyboard prototype and nothing like modern day android. Look at the 3 minute mark. See he's navigating through a dock. See how the commands are through menus and not icons like modern day android. Notice no pinch and zoom (he uses a button on the side). Notice no swipe (he's using a button on the right hand side). It's as if they took a keyboard prototype and rushed out a touch version (and then added all Apple's look, feel and gestures later) Compare the phone shown in the video to the G1 (http://www.letsgodigital.org/images/artikelen/681/tmobile-g-1.jpg http://www.letsgodigital.org/images/artikelen/681/tmobile-g-...) which had gestures, 4 icons per screen, swipe to get between screens and so on.
